Doug needs these wheels and I'll tell ya what.....we need to get to the finish line. I have a feeling that even at 10 sets, we're "a bit" short.

Maybe you should buy an extra set and sell it to me later at a markup.....I can't do it now. (Rodney-I only have a glass CSX.....)

Glad it looks like you guys will get this done after all the persistence....

I won't believe it until the boxes hit your stoops but having said that, it will be a marvelous testimony to Rodney's persistence, zeal and hard work. I hopefully congratulate Rodney and the guys that get them owe you a big 'THANK YOU'.
Now I've got to get a quote on Brillo on the Bourse and buy 20 or 50,000 shares.
I been warnin' you guys, watch out what you ask for...

Ironically, Rodney broadcasts the big news today about a magnesium wheel run and today, the same day, I received the 2nd set of Trigos that I recently purchased.

Nope, one set of magnesium wheels is more than plenty for me.

Rodney, I didn't think Fran would want 10 people calling him with questions, but I do want a few questions answered before sending money. I'll call him next week, if I don't see the answers posted here before then.

I'll contact Fran today and get those answers.

Default Mag wheel update

In answer to Rodknock's questions:

1. A new technique for coloring will be used. Described as looking accurate.
2. The 'COBRA II' embossing is still up in the air until next week when he speaks to his supplier.
3. He will use the same supplier as before. Nuff said.

If you haven't contacted Fran, do so. (412) 441-5750
He hasn't heard from A N Y O N E ! ! !

Learn your backspacing. If you have a CSX or KMP with Trigos, and you have no reason to believe they've been changed, then you can find your backspacing on the Trigo website. I don't want to just give the answer away because ultimately YOU are responsible for knowing your own backspacing. Double check it.

PM me so we can leave FORUM alone.

Default Mag wheel update

Just got off the phone with Fran:

Wheels WILL say "COBRA II"" and "15x7.5" or "15x9.5".
They will NOT say "HALIBRAND".


He just got off the phone with his supplier. Fran is contantly making MAGNESIUM Kidney Bean and FIA wheels, and his customers read like a who's who of the....Vintage Cobra crowd. Not to mention his own original Cobras.
Fran is the real deal. But don't believe me, ask around. If you're not on the list but can offer an opinion of first hand experience with Fran, please do so HERE!

Fran WILL offer refunds if the wheels don't get made. Ask around for opinions on his business practices. Then, CALL FRAN!!! With your backspacing.

(412) 441-5750

Also, the 'drop' area, which holds the air, will be coated.
